When the weather turns colder problems can develop with your vehicle that you may not be aware of. Make sure you check the date on your battery to see if its time to change it out. Most batteries will last about 3 years. The colder the outside temperatures, shorter the life expectancy of your battery will be. Always check the battery positive and negative terminals to make sure they are making good connections.

Make sure all your fluids are at their proper levels and the correct type of fluids are being used for the winter weather. Finally, always check your tire’s air pressure. The colder outside air temperatures will cause the tire to drop in air pressure automatically making them under inflated and causing poor handling of your vehicle.
